ST. NBA Jerseys China . PETERSBURG, Fla. -- This is how well things are going for the Oakland Athletics: They had only one hit -- and won. "Sometimes thats all you need," said manager Bob Melvin after the As won for the 11th time in 12 games, beating the Tampa Bay Rays 3-2 Wednesday night. Brandon Moss hit a solo homer for Oaklands only hit and the Athletics took advantage of walks and two errors to win their fifth straight. "Its not the easiest way to win a baseball game," said Moss, who hit his 10th homer. "But its better than getting one hit and losing." Oakland scored twice on two errors and a pair of walks in the second inning, helping the As win a regular-season game for the first time since at least 1914 while getting only one hit, according to the team. Moss 11th extra-base hit in seven games came off Erik Bedard in the fourth inning. Oaklands fifth straight victory, coupled with Detroits loss earlier Wednesday, gave the As the best record in the major leagues at 30-16. Tommy Milone (2-3) gave up two runs in 5 2-3 innings for the As. Bedard (2-2) pitched 5 1-3 innings for the Rays. Four Rays relievers finished the one-hitter, but the Rays gave up seven walks, one reason the As didnt need much hitting. "Its pretty remarkable. You dont hear about that too often, but we did walk a lot," said Milone. "We worked the count, got on base and put pressure on them. I guess its not that surprising when you look back." The homer by Moss was the first off Bedard since Sept. 16, 2013, breaking a homerless streak of 49 1-3 innings. Throwing errors by Rays shortstop Yunel Escobar and second baseman Sean Rodriguez and two walks in the second inning helped the As score their first two runs off Bedard. "Its really one of the more unusual games to lose," said Rays manager Joe Maddon. "We pitched extremely well. Its just an awkward game to give up one hit and lose. The one hit is a home run, and that was the deciding point." After Moss sixth homer in 16 games made it 3-0, singles by Wil Myers, James Loney and Escobar produced two runs for Tampa Bay in the sixth and chased Milone. The Rays, who have lost four straight, loaded the bases with one out in the eighth, but reliever Fernando Abad got Escobar to hit into a double play. "That won us the ballgame right there, in my opinion," said As catcher Derek Norris. Sean Doolittle pitched the ninth for his fourth save. Logan Forsythe was credited with a hit off Doolittle when his infield popup caromed off a Tropicana Field catwalk and landed near the pitchers mound. The umpires ruled the ball had struck the catwalk in fair territory.

However, neither he nor linemates Curtis Lazar and Nick Ritchie got a point in an 8-0 victory over Slovakia.Every game, if were honest, he should have had a goal, coach Benoit Groulx said Saturday. Hes had some unbelievable chances.He wants to do good. Its (a) matter of relaxing and it will come later. We have to understand hes been sidelined for five or six weeks, and coming back in a tournament like this is not easy. But Im not worried at all.Canada played five pre-tournament games before Fridays tournament opener. McDavid and his line will get another chance Saturday night when Canada (1-0-0) faces Germany (0-0-0) at the Bell Centre, with Eric Comrie taking over from Zach Fucale in goal.That unit, plus fourth-line centre Frederik Gauthier, were the only Canadian forwards not to register a point against Slovakia.McDavid was tearing up the Ontario Hockey League when he broke his hand in a fight in November. He returned when the Canadian team selection camp opened Dec. 11 in Toronto, but may still be shaking off some rust.While McDavid struggled to find the net, the tteams third line featuring centre Nic Petan and winger Robby Fabbri had a big night. Cheap NBA Store. Fabbri had two goals and two assists, while Petan had a goal and two helpers.Fabbri is not worried at all about his longtime teammate on national age group squads.The big story of this tournament is McDavid and (American Jack) Eichel, Fabbri said of the two top-ranked players for the NHL draft. We all know what kind of player Connor is.The expectations he has for himself are big, and when he has a game like that where he had all those chances and nothing went in, that would be tough for any player. He sets his goals high and when he doesnt reach them, hes frustrated.But hes good at handling that. It was a tough game for him points-wise, but I thought he played well. Itll come. Nobodys worried about that.On the same night, Eichel was a standout as he set up the Americans only goal in regulation time with a nifty move and then scored in the shootout as the U.S. downed Finland 2-1.Groulx said both McDavid and Lazar, who joined the team on loan from the Ottawa Senators, cant expect to be clicking every game.I just think (Friday) night they werent at their best, but they still managed to get chances, said Groulx. Thats the most important thing to me.When you have the puck and youre a threat in the offensive zone, guys like that will find a way. I feel its a matter of time for them. ' ' '
